A descriptive-quantitative research design was applied to help the researchers in obtaining the information needed for the study. The research used survey questionnaires as instruments in collecting the needed data from the officers of Barangay Malabanias and nurses of the Rural Health Unit in Barangay Malabanias. The results show that various risks such as flood, land pollution, respiratory infections, malnutrition, and measles were among the risks that are expected to occur at least once in ten years. Whereas, rain-induced landslide, earthquakes, human-induced fires, water pollution, diarrhea, and dengue were the risk that it is unlikely to occur but yet possible to experience. In the impact assessment, among the hazards, the flood has the utmost impact on the informal settlers. Then proper action plan was provided for mitigating the risks being experienced by the informal settlers residing near Abacan River, Malabanias, Angeles City.
